Something in your mind refuses to be a slave of instinct and leads you instead down the other passage. This tunnel is quite short and within moments you find yourself in a small, enclosed cavity. The floor is covered with strange, elongated, dirty-white bundles, each about the length of your arm. You give one of these bundles a sniff but there is no scent. You tap it lightly and it spins across the floor of the chamber. Finally you decide to jump on it.

The shell cracks immediately and your paw sinks into a thick jelly - these are some kind of egg. Recoiling, you drag your paw across the floor and the wall in an attempt to wipe off the slime. You head back down the tunnel. If you want to leave this nest turn to 385. If you would rather continue exploring, and perhaps find out where the eggs came from, turn to 70.
